Forte went 3-3 on the night, with a pair of RBI that came on extra base hits. His triple in the 5th inning scored John Novenche (Canisius College) and his double in the top of the 7th inning scored Malcolm Nachmanoff (Stony Brook University).

Forte was chosen as Dutchmen Recognoize Player of the Game.
